Dropping this would have been a huge mistake!

My first review despite years on MDL. This is because this show is that good and that underrated. Give it 5 episodes at least. Look past the shock value. The story and characters are amazing.

Every now and then a drama comes along and resonates with me more than others. Means more to me than others, obsesses me more than others, touches me more than others.

SCOY was one of those every now and thens...

I dropped it the first time I watched, only to come back to it when I needed to escape some bad news I had received. Yes, admittedly for me the cringe and second hand embarrassment was powerful in the first two episodes, but my mood was such that I could see past that and actually listen to the story they were trying to tell me. Listen to Toh and his rules for crushing. See Nuea watching the guy with glasses and smiling. See the friendships that were unconditional and supportive. I could really see the story past the crazy. And what a beautiful story it was.

Some say Toh is a criminal and creepy. He harmed no one. He did nothing illegal. He was devoted and loyal and pretty strong. His intentions were never to hurt or make someone uncomfortable. If Nuea had approached him and said I see what you are doing, please stop, I'm pretty sure Toh would have been upset that he had made Nuea uncomfortable and would have stopped immediately. That's how I see it at least.

I've heard others say the story is not plausible. How could Nuea like Toh? Considering I'm a chubby nerd that got the hot popular jock, I can't really agree with that way of thinking. Was this story in a setting of unicorns and rainbows. Yes, maybe. But, wouldn't it really be wonderful if all parents accepted their children for who they are unconditionally? Wouldn't it be wonderful if all friendships were as unconditional and supportive as theirs? Wouldn't it be wonderful if all the bullies always get put in their place? Wouldn't it be wonderful if your secret crush was secretly crushing on you as well?

I never write things this long on MDL. I usually don't have the confidence. But SCOY really meant so much to me. This crazy, silly, beautiful mess of a story captured my heart.

I thank them all, from actors to subbers. I wish them all the best. You made this person very happy.

Love a cold man gets his guy story... than this is for you.

I loved this and hate that it is over. I loved Yoon in this role and Ton as well. I want to see them in something else together. Love a cold man losing his shit over the normal guy and pursuing him and I love how Komol did it here. He was very single minded, determined, straightforward, and honest in his desire for Kim and what he wanted. Swoon worthy.

I would love a Khom and Baiboon follow up story. I loved the very real family unit they all became. I loved Kim's dad being a dad for his son and asking the right questions to his son's would be suitor and being accepting as well as realistic. I think that was especially good for Kamol as well.

Basically I really just loved it and do not think it deserves all the hate it has gotten. I said it before and will repeat, I do think the sex scene in episode one was unfortunate but it in no way ruined the entire drama in anyway. If you're hesitant, give it a try and see for yourself.
